| description | Use when asking a question against a personal wiki built with wiki-init and wiki-ingest. Do not answer from general knowledge — always read the wiki pages first. |
Wiki Query
Ask a question. Read the wiki. Synthesize with citations. Offer to file the answer back.
Pre-condition
Find SCHEMA.md (search from cwd upward, or ~/wikis/). If not found, tell the user to run wiki-init first. Read it to get wiki root path and cross-reference convention.
Process
1. Read wiki/index.md first
Scan the full index to identify which pages are likely relevant. Do NOT answer from general knowledge — the wiki is the source of truth here, even if you think you know the answer.
2. Read relevant pages
Read the identified pages in full. Follow one level of [[slug]] links if they point to pages that seem relevant to the question.
3. Synthesize the answer
Write a response that:
- Is grounded in the wiki pages you read
- Cites inline using
[[slug]] for every claim sourced from a specific page
- Notes agreements and disagreements between pages
- Flags gaps: "The wiki has no page on X" or "[[page]] doesn't cover Y yet"
- Suggests follow-up sources to ingest or questions to investigate
Format for the question type:
- Factual → prose with citations
- Comparison → table
- How-it-works → numbered steps
- What-do-we-know-about-X → structured summary with open questions
4. Always offer to save
After answering, say:
"Worth saving as wiki/pages/<suggested-slug>.md?"
If yes:
If no:
Common Mistakes
- Answering from memory — Always read the wiki pages. The wiki may contradict what you think you know, and that contradiction is valuable signal.
- Skipping the save offer — Good query answers compound the wiki's value. Always offer.
- No citations — Every factual claim should trace back to a
[[slug]].
